Another threewheeler, but of some importance.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Borgward GOLIATH Blitzkarren 1924

Forget the Goliath part, this is the Borgward Blitzkarren, the first vehicle built by Borgward. It appeared in 1924. The pictured car is the sole survivor.

I think that is a collage of a 1924 text with a picture from the 1950s. The background architecture is definitely postwar. I guess the photo was taken when a Blitzkarren was restored for his 65th (?) birthday. Below a 1924 ad, the unrestored Blitzkarren in the 1950s and another picture of the restored one.
